Did Kim Potter shoot Daunte Wright?
Kimberly “Kim” A. Potter, 48, is a police officer from Minneapolis, Hennepin County, Minnesota, United States. Her husband Jeff Potter is a former police officer in Fridley, Anoka County, Minnesota.
In February 1995, Kim joined the Brooklyn Center Police Department in Brooklyn Center, Hennepin County. She served on the force’s negotiation team. She and Jeff have two sons who were born in 1998 and 2001.
In March 2016, Kim and her fellow officers Kris Stein and Steve Lorentz responded to a shooting outside of a local business in Brooklyn Center. On April 18, 2017, theywere honored with the Chief’s Unit Certificate of Commendation in the Brooklyn Center Community Center.
Kim’s annual salary was $82,335 in 2017, $86,190 in 2018 and $90,513 in 2019. After becoming the Brooklyn Center Police Officer’s Association president in 2019, she represented other police officers involved in fatal shootings.
In August 2019, Kim was one of the first Brooklyn Center Police Department officers to arrive after their colleagues Cody Turner and Brandon Akers fatally shot Kobe Dimock-Heisler, then 21, inside Dimock-Heisler’s residence. She instructed Turner and Akers to exit the residence, get into separate squad cars, turn off their body worn cameras and not talk to each other.
On April 11, 2021, Kim worked as a field training officer training a new officer named Anthony Luckey. They arrested Daunte Wright, 20, of Minneapolis who had a warrant for a gross misdemeanor weapons charge.
During the arrest, Kim fatally shot Wright. On April 12, 2021, the Brooklyn Center Police Department released the footage of her encounter with Wright recorded by her body camera, which showed that she apparently intended to pull a Taser but instead fired her gun.
On April 13, 2021, Kim resigned from the Brooklyn Center Police Department and was charged with second-degree manslaughter in Wright’s death. On April 14, 2021, Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension agents arrested her.
Kim was booked her into the Hennepin County Jail in Minneapolis. After spending a few hours in jail, she posted a $100,00 bond and was released.

Accidental shooting. Nothing criminal here. Kimberly Potter will be found not guilty. This was just a tragic mistake. Suspect resisted she meant to get her taser. Said taser but pulled her gun out instead. They are trying to turn this into a race issue. This is not. Mayor of Brooklyn Center should resign too. He is terrible.

Accidental shooting. Unless someone has been a police officer, they can not comprehend the pressure and challenges they face. It was obvious the officer attempting to handcuff the man was in training. In my opinion, there is nothing criminal here at all. In today’s environment, one of the toughest jobs is being a police officer. She and her family are in our prayers In Deed.
